Saying we own the disc never meant that we owned the right to the game. Just that we owned the disc and could therefore play whenever we want.

I do not understand why it is so difficult to understand that our money means something to us, and the word "buy" did indeed mean a binding contract between two parties.

    Sony, the company that sold music as licensed on discs, you think believes games aren't things that can be licensed on a disc? Welcome to reality kid. It's called capitalism and unless gamers gain class consciousness nothing will change.
